Look, he is all about Freestyle Freeride and whatnot. The X-site will more than welcome him... It would be good for his business to do so...
Close minded.. No. Paul is my sponsor and like a father... Did I still welcome him to the area.... YES...
and I might get beat out of winterizings, but I still did what was right and welcome him.. it is a small sport and what is between paul and the X-partner is just that... We can still all ride... and he I think he needs to show some respect, to people here that cant go to pwc.. and also to clear some air !
Big Kahuna said:You know, I personally take offense to that, most of the members here are the very ones that made up the core members of PWCToday from the time it started until the time the X started up........ What you may call negative may actually be people responding to FACT and previous experiences with this guy...... I dont know him, so I cannot voice a good opinion, I can respond to how he tried to accuse Paul of doing shoddy work, and then when he posted copies of reciepts, they did not even match the ski that the work was the point of accusations.

douglee25 said:See Pete, I don't get you. Why would a guy want to come here and clear the air when you specifically said "I could have his place shut down in a heartbeat if he says anything about Paul" (paraphrased)? Once again you make a personal attack on me, then edit it? You edited just about all your negative posts earlier in this thread? WTF man? If I had an issue with you, I took it to PM where I could speak about it in private. What's with you trying to dime me out and make me look like a jerkoff? This is what bother's me about this site. How could I be one sided? If I was one sided like you stated, I would be 100% pro Paul and say F Mark. Have I said anything close to it? Not in the least. I've kept neutral from the 1st post saying give the guy a chance.

PancakePete said:First of all. I edited a couple posts so I was not rude. Mybad. I catched it and fixed it.... I think you need to re-read things sometimes. I am not saying F the guy... My arse went over there. I am not personally attacking you. Look at what went on.. If you were nuetral you would act so ! I am done talking with you.

the way I see it is....let tnt do all the seadoo top ends they want.......Pauls magic lies within his skills and experience, the name may change but the brrrAAAAAAP will live on
we have a saying here in TX:douglee25 said:Because everyone this site is often so negative. Why would he both to try and 'market' to people who are close minded? It's a waste of his time.

Doug, I think your best bet would be to call Paul and talk to him. Then call Mark and talk to him and make your own decision. Thats the only way to end all speculation. With any ugly situation involving lawyers, there are things that cant be made public. Paul is a private person and I'm sure he doesnt want his personal life dragged all over the forums here or at pwctoday. Talking to people directly is the only way to get straight answers.

I think yer friends with Mark and defending him. you've defended him here and in the sk8erorsnow thread last year.
I think you should re-read Paul's post about the partnership that was Jr.Magoo's Powersports

douglee25 said:Re-read my PM's to you. They were all neutral. I never said you personally said "F the guy". What I'm saying is the attitude from a lot of supporters (people on X) of Paul are saying "F the guy". That's what I'm saying.
Doug
Big Kahuna said:That is their right, their opinion, you have yours, they have theirs, you dont want everybody to agree on everysingle subject.........
Matt_E said:Doug - it's tough for people to be "Neutral", because in asking that, you'd be asking to ignore what transpired in the past.
douglee25 said:Agreed Kahuna. My point is this.... draw your own conclusions from your own personal experience, not from other's. Becuase the topic in question deals with Paul, it's touchy because he has a lot of support from this site. If someone comes on X and talks smack against Riva, I'm sure a lot would state they don't like dealing with them as well. If someone reads the post and decides not to use Riva for their motorsport needs, they are going on someone else's experience. Although it can be a guide, don't use it as gospel. User personal experience as your guide in life.
